Blocking is a personal tool for personal conflicts. This is a public nuisance attack. The solution isn't for hundreds of users to each individually block a racist spammer; it's for the platform to have basic moderation to stop the public harassment in the first place.

I run a small social meeting site, and I have included functionality that watches for multiple blocks of the same user in relatively quick succession. This automatically bans the user from the site for a period of time. Maybe they could implement something like this. Of course, I also moderate my site, so there's that.

The fact that you also moderate is the key difference!
